Hey everyone, parents don't really supporty my decision so I'd appreciate some help. I'd love to buy my first car, I'm looking at a 2024 Toyota Carolla, which I'm told will last me a very long time. Based on research online, the MSRP for what I want should be 26k so I expect to pay around 26 taxes. I have more than enough cash on hand but if they offered a 1% loan or something like that I would be fine with that (though obviously I doubt it given rates where they are)

I don't really know much about the accessory package and I feel like all wheel drive should be worth it?

Any advice is appreciated, shady tactics to be aware of. At the end of the day, My mindset is to pull out an amortization calculator to make sure I'm not paying too much. Any help is appreciated.
